With April Fool’s Day right around the corner, we’re gearing up for some serious pranking. And to help our members become the ultimate pranksters this year, here are 5 of our all-time favorite tricks.

1. A Confusing Car Ride

Who do you ride with? Whether it’s your child, colleague, partner, or friend—your morning commute is the perfect time to pull this sneaky prank.

Simply draw or stick a sign on the back of your car, instructing other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians to honk and shout your passenger’s name. Your fool will have no idea why strangers are yelling at them, or what’s more confusing—how so many strangers know them by name!

3. The Juiciest Prank of All

Got a straw?

This prank works best on juice-loving children, but can be used to fool any unsuspecting juice-guzzler. Simply serve your fool their favorite juice—just make sure it’s served with a straw. When they try to slurp their first sip, no liquid will come up!

4. A Little Water Never Hurt Anyone…

With just a bit of preparation, you can soak in all the humor this holiday has to offer! Using a pin, simply poke a few holes in an unopened plastic water bottle, then leave it up for grabs in the fridge or on the counter.

Once your fool reaches for this quick refreshment, the force of their grip will cause water to squirt out, soaking them in April Fool’s Day fun!

5. What’s Lurking in the Top Drawer?

Do you know someone who hates clowns… spiders… cockroaches? For a spooky surprise, all you need is a photo! Simply print out a large photo of the most shocking image you can find, and plant it in your fool’s desk drawer.

When they reach in, your final April Fool will be hilariously frightened. You can even reuse the photo on more than one person throughout the day!
